The concerted efforts of international stakeholders on malaria prevention have yielded significant results since 2000, with 45 countries certified malaria-free and an estimated 3 billion insecticide-treated nets distributed globally. In the face of emerging and long-term challenges, maintaining and building on the successes of recent decades will require re-alignment and re-commitment to global malaria goals across the health ecosystem. This Insight Brief by FP Analytics, produced with support from Vestergaard, highlights progress to date and identifies areas for growth and innovation for malaria elimination.
